Getting a new car.. Options

[cnelson]

Ok, before anyone says anything i WILL BE KEEPING the celi. However i'm probably going away for college and my parents want me to have a newer car so stuff is less likely to go wrong. I'm not sure how much i can spend but i think between 10k, to 13ish.

I've really been thinking about two cars..

2005/2006 Scion TC

Pros;
-i love this car, body style everything
-made by toyota
-from what i understand TONS of aftermarket?

Cons;
they seem to be really popular
maybe a little pricey?

2004/2005/2006 Acura RSX

Pros;
-love the body style
-acura's are good cars
-a good ammount of aftermarket?

Cons;
-probably more exspensive
-harder to find (around me at least)


Anyone have any other cars?

I really love the scion tc. I've liked that car since it came out, but as much research i do on it, can't find out about the aftermarket really?

if price is an issue , i am sure you can get a used TC for under 10K , low miles too ... and then Supercharge it with a TRD supercharger ! probably will reach your price limit and will be faster than both RSX and a stock TC .... i like the RSX , but i think the TC looks better ..... the TC's interior is kind of cheap , but you can always add your personal touch ... hmm , oh and the TC everybody keeps telling me that TCs are girly ... but u shouldn't care because lets face it , girls drive everything , nothing is not girly !!
